Hi all,

I'm having issues with numbering my pages. I need the first nine to be Roman numerals and the rest to be regular numbers, which I did through section numbering. This works fine for the first 97 pages, but then jumps randomly back to Roman numerals, and when I try to start a new section it adds a new page for some reason? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Delete the new section start (down-pointing arrow on top of the page icon) on page 98. Right-click on the page, Numbering & Section, uncheck Start Section.

Also, note that it's usual to continue numbering by even pages; you should have ten front pages numbered i through x, with page 1 beginning on the next odd, right-hand page.
